Here are just a few great Glasgow pubs where you and your dog are welcome to prop up the bar - "pint for me please, barman - and my pal will have a doggy biscuit!"

West

There are great beer gardens, and then there’s West. The Templeton brewery delivers on stunning backdrops - but why should you have all the fun? Take your favourite drinking buddy on a walk in the park then hit the boozer - all welcome, whether that’s out in the sun or cosied up inside and out of the rain.

The butterfly and the pig

‘…and the dog’ might be too long a name for a bar - but trust us, poodles and pugs are just as welcome. The Bath St basement and its southside counterpart (the former Corona at Shawlands Cross) deal in hearty food, a well-stocked bar and cosy kitsch interiors - the perfect reward after a long, hard walks.

Brewdog and Doghouse

And with a name like that, how could they not cater to the family pet? Brewdog’s west end bar and the Merchant City Doghouse are dog-friendly 24/7 - but the Scottish brewers have gone one step further, offering pints to thirsty pooches. Keep an eye on Facebook for Yappy Hour events, where dogs are treated to a complimentary ‘dog beer’, made from beef stock. Best idea ever?

The Belle

If ever there was a pub suited to a cosy pint on a cold day, this is it - add a wagging tail or two and we'll happily get a few more rounds in. The Great Western Road pub boasts a roaring fire and bothy feel, and Glasgow dogs are welcome to catch a heat after a run around the Botanic Gardens.

The Ben Nevis

Pub dogs just can’t get enough of the Ben Nevis. Whether the people of Finnieston are especially animal friendly or it’s just the cosy cottage feel and plentiful whisky, there’s always a tail wagging in this beloved boozer. Pub dogs clearly have good taste.

The Allison Arms

If your interests lie in four-legged friends and rare imported beer - and you happen to be south of the Clyde - then you’re in luck. Fast becoming Strathbungo’s favourite pub, The Ally Arms keeps its doors open for dugs, and a well-stocked fridge of bottled goodies.

Inn Deep

Walkies along the Kelvin wouldn’t be complete without a stop-off at this Kelvinbridge bar. It’s another favourite with beer fans, and covered (and heated!) outdoor seating with the river rolling by offer dog owners a chance to unwind with a pint - four-legged customers are welcome inside too.

The Sparkle Horse

The hippest boozer in Dowanhill welcomes hipster pooches too - so tell your four-legged friend to throw on their best collar and hop a subway. If a decent bar, excellent pub grub and a weekly quiz are your bag then this is the place, allowing you a little me time - without having to leave Max the menacing chihuahua at home.

Brutti Ma Buoni and Brutti Compadres

Okay, so city centre dog walks are a little less common - but if you find yourself in town with a wagging tail in tow then these upmarket watering holes are open to you, and that well-behaved black labrador too.

Bar Gallus

This Partick pub is full of regulars - and not just of the human variety. Pub dogs are always welcome - in fact, the bar staff have been known to slip them a treat or two - and a trip to the bar isn't complete without a quick clap hello.
